LinkDrop — Connect. Privately.

A minimalist, secure P2P video connection portal.
No chat. No tracking. No noise.
Just you and the person you want to connect with — through a private room link.

🔗 Features

• ✅ Create a Room – One-click room generation with a 6-digit code
• ✅ Host Approval – Guest must be accepted before connecting
• ✅ Peer-to-Peer Video – WebRTC ensures direct, private video streaming
• ✅ Copy Link – Share your room easily with one click
• ✅ No Sign-Up – Fully anonymous, instant access
• ✅ Mobile & Desktop Friendly – Clean, responsive design
• ✅ Silent & Focused – No distractions, just connection

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Frontend – HTML, CSS, JavaScript (no frameworks)
• WebRTC – Real-time peer-to-peer video
• Signaling – Socket.IO for connection negotiation
• Frontend Hosting – Vercel (free, fast, global CDN)
• Backend Hosting – Railway (Node.js + Socket.IO server)

🌐 How It Works

1. Create Room – Click "CREATE ROOM" to generate a unique 6-digit link
2. Share Link – Copy and send the link to someone
3. Join & Request – They open the link and request to join
4. Approve – You accept or reject the request
5. Connect – Once approved, P2P video starts instantly

No data is stored. No logs. No history.

🚀 Deployment

Frontend

Deployed on Vercel:
👉 https://linkdrop-phi.vercel.app

• Serves static files (index.html, room.html, style.css, script.js)
• Uses vercel.json to route /room/ABC123 correctly

Backend

Hosted on Railway:
👉 linkdrop-production.up.railway.app

• Node.js + Express + Socket.IO
• Handles signaling for WebRTC (offer, answer, ICE)
• CORS secured for linkdrop-phi.vercel.app
• Real-time room management with host/guest logic

🎯 Design Philosophy

Inspired by clean, powerful tools like terminal.co, LinkDrop focuses on:

• Minimalism – Only what’s needed
• Privacy – No third parties, no data collection
• Control – Host decides who connects
• Simplicity – No learning curve

📢 Future Ideas

• Add QR code for mobile sharing
• Picture-in-Picture support
